After reading the US 164 history, click on the SH40 link. Not paved until<br/>
1963, as your memory served.<br/>

<br/>
I visited Four Corners in March, 1962.  Access involved driving many miles<br/>
on <br/>
a gravel road that paralleled the under-construction, now existent paved <br/>
road.  The short side road to Four Corners was little more than two ruts<br/>
across <br/>
the desert.<br/>
<br/>
The spot was then marked by an approximately three-foot high truncated <br/>
pyramid made of concrete, and if my memory is correct, it was painted red.<br/>
The <br/>
monument had suffered the ravages of weather and potshots and was not much<br/>
to look <br/>
at.  One could easily step on top for the classic photo.  Visitation<br/>
appeared <br/>
to be very low.<br/>
